Nonsense, absolute nonsense. Even IF Trump listened to the worthless NRA, so what?
After the Florida school shooting...he had one of his public meetings with democrats...he was actually discussing gun confiscation. I thought Diane Feinstein, sitting next to him, was gonna have an orgasm....next day, they had to walk it all back. Did the same with immigration didnt understand when he said “comprehensive reform” means amnisty..had to walk it all back the next day....
Plus, the method he used to ban bumpstocks was extremely dangerous. To direct the ATF to ignore the clear words of the law, that a full auto fires repeatedly with ONE TRIGGER PULL, and order them to make up something (that many trigger pulls were actually one trigger pull) showed an ignorance (or contempt?) of the Constitution and how we make law.
Furthermore, when this transpired, I observed that this sort of precedent could pose horrible problems for gun owners. Luckily, leftist administrations have not yet taken advantage of this precedent. It is an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.
We already know what a Trump administration will look like when it comes to 2nd amendment issues. A few missteps, but by and large, he’s been a solid defender of the 2nd amendment.

Trump is not a gun friendly person. PERIOD. Stop handwaiving and denying it!
He’s talked and acted as bad as any Demmocrat on this issue. It’s why I’ll vote for him in the general against Newsom or Biden, but sure as hell not in a primary!!!
LOL! WAPO.
no need to read any further.
That’s article is the definition of ‘at least he’s not a democrat’. Awful
“His reflexes were a New York liberal on guns. He doesn’t have knee-jerk conservative reflexes.”
I love Trump, but I have to agree with this when PDJT came into office. He had a learning curve, but it seems he has made a definite right turn.
And if you built your own AR-15, as many hobbyists do, and equipped it with a bumpstock, you were on the hook to convert it yourself out of pocket to comply with Trump's executive order.
I didn't vote for a bumpstock ban? Did you?
And Obama sure as hell never signed one.
“New Yorkers hate guns.”
And the Irish are drunks, Jews are cheap shiesters, blacks are lazy, Asians are brilliant overachievers, etc. I was born and raised in NY. I can assure you that the 2nd Amendmend is very alive and respected outside the urban cesspools.
Please note that the Fifth Circuit has jurisdiction in some, if not all, of the district courts in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. The bump stock ban is no longer in effect in those affected jurisdictions.
Please consult with your lawyer for confirmation and more info.
Et tu’ trump?
“The reason we were able to defeat the British is because we had equal firepower.”
Actually, we had superior firepower when it came to long guns.
Our Kentucky long rifle was far superior to the British smoothbore “Brown Bess.”
I don’t know why anyone needs an AR-15 either. I’d be perfectly happy with banning them. (Wait for it.)
Stoner’s take on a semi-sorta direct impingement system suuuuuuuuuucks. As long as we can have all the non-direct-impingement guns we want unaffected, like the FAL, AK, Garand system rifles, AR-18, etc., I couldn’t care less about the AR-15.
Can you tell I hate cleaning the AR-15? :P
Trump has come a LONG way. He demonstrated his credentials.
As such, allow me to present reasons to disagree with you.
The news about Trump is buried in a lengthy story in The Washington Post (emphasis added)
Trump told aides that he wanted to ban AR-15s, according to people present for the statements.(emphasis added)
As one former official put it in describing the real estate developer turned politician, “His reflexes were a New York liberal on guns. He doesn’t have knee-jerk conservative reflexes.”
But Trump was also petrified of the NRA and others taking him on, former advisers said, and heard from a number of advisers that it would be unpopular.
. “F--- it, I’m not going to work with them on anything. They’re f---ing impeaching me,” Trump said in one Oval Office meeting, according to a participant."
Are we REALLY gonna believe the Compost, citing unnamed "former advisors" et al?
Sliming Trump as a fake pro-gun candidate is perhaps the first chapter in the "How to Stop Trump in 2024" statist playbook.
My vote?
The Washington Post, give me a break. It doesn’t even rise to the level of the National Enquirer.
Emily Post News and the WP confirm your suspicions?!? Are you kidding me? Where’s the Trump video? Where’s the Trump policy statement? Have you EVER heard Trump actually say anything remotely close to this? How many times did Trump try to ban them as president? Oh, forget what Trump actually says, we have unidentified “sources” and Emily and the WP to corroborate. We all better run and jump on the RdS bandwagon. Thank goodness Emily and the WP gave us the heads up before we elected Trump, the gun grabber, again. Yeah, right.
Re: 39 - LOL! Agree with bump stocks. Used one several years ago - it was fun for about one minute! Not my cup of tea, but others may like to use a lot.
